Millions of brassieres have been created and worn throughout the years. Millions of ‘em.
For many of us, the undergarment is simply a daily staple that serves a useful purpose.
Yet there have been certain bras in history and pop culture – bras of all shapes, sizes and functions – that have left a stamp on our collective memory.
Here are some of the memorable bras we’re still loving years later.
Madonna’s conical bra.
Madonna has long been the queen of mind-boggling concert outfits (sorry, Lady Gaga, but it’s true), and the silk, cone-shaped brassiere she wore during her 1990 Blonde Ambition tour quickly became her most iconic. A creation of designer Jean-Paul Gaultier, the eye-catching bra has lived on in pop culture history… and many a dress-up party costume.

Ariel’s seashells.
One Little Mermaid, one big lesson in fashion improvisation. Forgot to pack a bra for your summer holiday? Simply pop down to the beach, find two conveniently-sized seashells, et voila - you’re sorted. In all seriousness, though, there probably isn’t a woman alive who hasn’t daydreamed about frolicking around under the sea with a tail, a tropical fish for a friend, and two shells strapped to her bosom. Thanks, Ariel.

btw, it's called "the battle bikini", not the slave bra.
Who can't take their bra off under their clothes? I do this all the time at home because taking off my top to take off my bra to put my top back on makes no sense!!
I was thinking the same thing :)
